title: Endoscopic restoration of esophageal continuity.
abstract: Severe stricture formation after repair of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula resulted in obliteration of the esophageal lumen. Patency of the esophagus was restored using endoscopic removal of the scar tissue. The stricture recurrence was subsequently controlled by Collis-Belsey reconstruction of the esophagogastric junction.
